I play in focus mode.  All I see is your avatar and flag.  I don't even see your rating. I certainly don't want chit chat.

a lot of people use chat to insult other players and other people rightfully don't want to see that but you want to say hello so I guess we should make it impossible to disable chat...

You have the right to remain silent...

And at the end of every game you should be able to rate the other player 1 to 5 stars

I would agree.  I enjoy playing against opponents that chat and play nice.  Your rating should be how they play and socialness.  I have had fun games against both 700 and 1900 rated players and "omg should I just resign because I cannot stand this guy" games against 1200 players.
